Tra queste figurano la riduzione dell\u2019et\u00e0 minima per redigere un testamento a 16 anni e la possibilit\u00e0 di presentare istanza al tribunale per ottenere l\u2019autorizzazione a redigere un testamento anche per minori di tale et\u00e0.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mentre un dodicenne residente in Scozia pu\u00f2 redigere un testamento valido, un suo compagno di classe che vive appena oltre il confine con l\u2019Inghilterra dovrebbe attendere altri sei anni per poterlo fare. Ci\u00f2 significa che, in caso di decesso di un minore in Inghilterra e nel Galles, il suo patrimonio verrebbe distribuito secondo le norme sulla successione ab intestato ai genitori o, qualora questi non fossero pi\u00f9 in vita, ai parenti pi\u00f9 stretti. Di conseguenza, qualora un minore fosse in rotta con uno dei propri genitori, quest\u2019ultimo erediterebbe comunque. Un patrigno o una matrigna che abbia cresciuto il minore non potrebbe invece ereditare.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sebbene spesso i bambini non abbiano molto da lasciare in eredit\u00e0, potrebbero essere molto esigenti riguardo a chi dovr\u00e0 prendersi cura di un animale domestico e chi potr\u00e0 avere accesso ai loro beni digitali. Ci sono anche bambini che hanno accumulato un patrimonio significativo grazie alla recitazione, alla musica, allo sport e, sempre pi\u00f9 spesso, alla monetizzazione delle attivit\u00e0 online, i quali potrebbero sentirsi profondamente lesi se, in caso di malattia, non fossero in grado di decidere come distribuire il proprio patrimonio.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sembra improbabile che, qualora queste proposte venissero introdotte, si verificherebbe una corsa in massa di sedicenni e diciassettenni desiderosi di redigere un testamento e di adolescenti ancora pi\u00f9 giovani che prendono in considerazione la possibilit\u00e0 di presentare istanze in tribunale per poter partecipare. Tuttavia, ci\u00f2 consentirebbe ai ragazzi a cui sono state diagnosticate malattie che limitano l\u2019aspettativa di vita di avere la certezza che le loro volont\u00e0 saranno rispettate. Ci\u00f2 dovrebbe inoltre aumentare la consapevolezza della necessit\u00e0 di rivedere periodicamente i testamenti, poich\u00e9 un testamento redatto da un adolescente potrebbe diventare obsoleto pochi anni dopo, quando questi andr\u00e0 a convivere con un partner stabile.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Il discorso del Re del maggio 2026 non ha fatto riferimento a una nuova legge in materia di testamenti e potrebbe quindi passare ancora del tempo prima che i minori in Inghilterra e Galles abbiano la possibilit\u00e0 di redigere un testamento. Non vediamo l\u2019ora di assisterli quando quel momento finalmente arriver\u00e0.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nel frattempo, il nostro team di avvocati specializzati e dedicati pu\u00f2 aiutare i genitori a redigere un testamento per nominare i tutori e gli amministratori fiduciari che si occuperanno della loro eredit\u00e0.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Non esitate a contattarci per discutere qualsiasi aspetto della pianificazione successoria e per fissare un appuntamento.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tel.: 020 7467 5757 oppure e-mail:&nbsp;<a href=\"mailto:privateclient@rfblegal.co.uk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">privateclient@rfblegal.co.uk<\/a>&nbsp;<\/p>","protected":false},"author":12,"featured_media":9926,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-9925","insight","type-insight","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-wills-probate"],"acf":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t<!-- All in One SEO 5.0.1.1 - aioseo.com -->\n\t<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The Wills Act 1837 has been largely unchanged for almost two centuries but in recent years it has become clear that in the age of digital communication, more complex family structures and longer life expectancy, it is in need of updating.
